Creating One Text File From Existing Files
Hi,
I really need help with this one! There are at least 2 or more batch files but with unknown names. Now, what I need to do is copy all the texts from each and every one of them and save them in one file.
Any help or suggestion would be very much appreciated.

Inserting Text At The Beginning Of An Existing Text File
I need to insert some data at the BEGINNING of an existing text file. All the solutions I've seen either append the text to the end of the file, or overwrite the data at the start of the file, or read the entire file into a string.
Can someone help me on this please.

Outputting To Existing Text File
I am a novice programmer.
How do I output the text appearing on a label so that it outputs to an existing text file exactly as it appears on a label?
This is what I have done so far.

Open "D:Documents and SettingsChris LatinoDesktopProjUnmodifiedProjectpao.dat" For Append As #1
Write #1, receipt.Text
Close #1
End Sub
'Merging' An Existing Text File Onto The End Of Another Text File
Is there any way to do this?
My app creates and reads text files as it communicates with an old DOS system.
It'd be useful, for audit purposes, if I could just grab the text files as I create them/read them and append them to the end of the audit text file in once go. If this isn't possible I'll just have to read & write the information line by line but this is time consumming so a single merge operation would be preferable.
Thank you for your time.

Insert String Into Existing Text File
Hello everyone. I am brand-spanking new to VB, and I have a question.
I would like to, using VB, insert a text string into a specific location in a text file, but I have no idea how to do that.
For example, let's say I have text file called fruits.txt with the following data in it:
Apple
Banana
Dates
Eggplant
Figs
How would I, from within a VB program, insert the string "Carrots" between "Banana" and "Dates"? Would I need to open the text file first and then manipulate it, or can it be manipulated without opening? What would the code look like?
As I said, I am brand-new to VB. Thanks for any help you can provide!
Append Text To An Existing Internet File
I have a url of a file that is read/write to all: http://...../filename.txt
By entering this URL in the IE you are prompted to save it to disk without having to enter a userid/password, so the file is publicly available.
What I want to do is open it and append text to it- I'm trying to write to a log file that already exists at this URL when a user updates his/her workstation.
How do I use the HTTP internet functions to open this file and append text to it? I have been using wininet.dll functions and need to stick to this.
I have tried all of the tricks with HttpSendRequestEx, InternetWriteFile, etc, however I have not found an article that addresses this particular situation.
Maybe what I am attempting is not possible? I don't want to use the FTP interface because that requires a username/password combo and that would stop the automatic process of writing to the file behind the scenes because the user is not going to know why they are being prompted for a userid/password, but since the URL is already public, it can be directly accessed.
Thanks!
Trouble! Importing CSV Text File To EXISTING Excel Worksheet
Hey all.. I've been searching around here for a while and there are quite a few posts on how to import text files into excel worksheets. However, none of them are working for my particular project. I've tried some code like this:
Code:
With myXLObj
.Workbooks.OpenText FileName:=lSourceFile, DataType:=XLDELIMITED, _
TextQualifier:=XLDOUBLEQUOTE, Comma:=True, _
FieldInfo:=Array(1, 2)
End With
.... but that opens a new workbook and doesn't help me out. I think I should read the text file into an array using line input statements, but I cannot come up with the code. I want the text file entered into excel exactly how it is, taking up a worksheet in an existing workbook. I have attached the text file, so any help would be awesome. Thanks.
NOTE: disregard the tab delimiters on the attached file.... I just attached it to show the type of data I need imported, and I will switch the text file to CSV when I run the program.
Creating Text Files And Saving Text To Them.
This is the best I can find to create a textfile and save a string variable's contents to it. Logically it doesn't make sense to me since you would first need to "create" a file before "opening" it, so either I just don't get it, or this is wrong.
Either way, it's not working, and generates the error: Run-time error '52': Bad file name or number
What am I doing wrong?

Creating Text Files Within An App
Hey guys, heres my question. Ive got a listbox (list1) which lists all files in a folder selected by a user. I was wondering how to go through the list and for each file, make a corrisponding text file using the same file name. My next question would it be possible to have a template text file so to say and have the app just change the numbers for size in the text file.
Thanks guys for all the help

Help: Problem With Creating And Reading Text Files
This problem seems so annoying, because I don't know where I'm going wrong.
I'm making an app that simply creates and reads text files.
Code for my Application
Quote:
Private Sub Form_Load()
'check if file exists
If Dir$("c:pass.txt") <> "" Then
'it exists, so set it as password
strPassword = ReadFile("c:pass.txt")
Else
'if it doesn't, create it
Call WriteFile("c:pass.txt", "clickclick")
'load it to txtGetPass
strPassword = ReadFile("c:pass.txt")
End If
End Sub
Public Sub WriteFile(FileName As String, Contents As String)
Dim i As Integer
i = FreeFile
Open FileName For Output As #i
Print #i, Contents
Close #i
End Sub
Public Function ReadFile(FileName As String) As String
Dim i As Integer
i = FreeFile
On Error GoTo ErrorTrap
Open FileName For Input As #i
ReadFile = Input(LOF(i), i)
Close #i
Exit Function
ErrorTrap:
ReadFile = ""
End Function
This app check if the file FileName exists. If it doesn, great!, it sets it as strPassword. If it doesn't, it creates a file with FileName and Contents, loads it and sets it as password. Simple, right.
Well, here is the problem: Everytime I save "c:pass.txt", with the Content "clickclick", it saves it with a black line after the "clickclick". My text file therefore contains to lines. One with "clickclick", and the other with nothing.
So, when my program loads up "c:pass.txt", it manages to load it up, but it loads it up with the two spaces after, therefore chaning strPassword. This is what strPassword therefore looks like: clickclick -- and then a blank line.
Anyone got a solution to my problem. Any help will be much appreciated. Thank you very much.

Creating Form To Export Data To 2 Text Files.
I have access to both VB 6.0 and VB .NET 2002 so help on either is appreciated.
If this is not the place for this question I understand, please just point me to where I should be going.
I do not have a heavy programming background however I have written a very useful VBScript to perform several functions. This script has two text files that it depends on for configuration (ie: a list of files it must remove).
In order to better faciliate the script I want to create a VB form that depending on which check boxes are selected it will populate the two text files required for the script. Additionally I would like the values that it will populate from to be stored in an access database table(s).
#1 How difficult is this going to be with someone of a decent amount of scripting experience but not too much app programming.
#2 Are there any samples out there that I can look at?
#3 Is there an easier way than what I have listed above?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks again,
Jim
Creating VB COM Wrapper For Existing DLL
Hello everyone.
How about a really really lame question from a newbie (albeit 50 years old).
I have a dll with accompanying VB and C++ code for use as the interface. I want to purchase the DLL for use in my application but the developer will only sell me the package as it exists, and he will not do more work on it.
Therefore here is what I need to do.
The VB code is a complete exe. HOWEVER, the functions, methods and arguments are private, therefore, from my understanding, not available for scripting. It's important that I create a scriptable COM interface for this DLL since, in it's present state, I can only accomplish one task at a time WITH user intervention and need it to complete up to 1,000 tasks through scripting.
I have the scripting completed but don't have the COM interface for the script to call. Is there anyone who can either (briefly) walk me through the conversion of the VB application to a scriptable COM Wrapper or does anyone have other ideas?
Thanks,
Garry

Creating A File, And Loading Two Files At Once
How would i code the save buttons so it would create a file at the users difined area, and save a text file and a image file as the same name, so it stores the comment/description in a file for each image e.g. image1.jpg would have a file called image1.txt, and then your program just has to read this file when the image is loaded?

Creating A Non-Existing Directory Tree
Alright... I've got this Function that works, but it's certainly not very elegant and I'm not even entirely sure why it works... But it does, and digging through the forum archives I didn't really find a good solution. So here's what I've got.
Code:
Public Sub MakeDir(Path As String)
On Error Resume Next
Dim LoopCount As Integer: LoopCount = 0
Dim oldpos As Integer: oldpos = 1
Dim pos As Integer: pos = 0
Dim StartPos As Integer: StartPos = 1
Do While oldpos <> 0
pos = InStr(oldpos, Path, "", vbTextCompare)
LoopCount = LoopCount + 1
'MsgBox ("Left to Pos: " + Left(Path, pos) + vbCrLf + _
"Loop Count: " + CStr(LoopCount) + vbCrLf + _
"Pos/OldPos: " + CStr(pos) + "/" + CStr(oldpos))
If InStr(StartPos, Mid(Path, StartPos, pos), ":") <> 0 Then
StartPos = InStr(StartPos, Left(Path, pos), ":") + 1
pos = InStr(StartPos, Path, "", vbTextCompare)
Else: ChDir (Mid(Path, StartPos, pos))
End If
oldpos = pos + 1
If InStr(StartPos, Mid(Path, StartPos, pos), ".") Then Exit Do
If Err.Number = 76 Then
MkDir (Left(Path, pos))
ElseIf Err.Number = 75 Then Exit Do
End If
Loop
End Sub
Any thoughts on the subject would be appreciated... This assumes you are passing the full path to a local drive but I know I'm going to run into all kinds of problems when I go to work tomorrow and the app.path is across a network drive and comes up \oldblue*Path*, as well as the first time I encounter a directory with a . in it. Also if anyone knows how to search from right to left through a string it would help as well.
Thanks in advance.
Creating A New Worksheet In An Existing Workbook.
Hi,
Can somebody help me! I am a newbie to VB programming.

I do not seem to be able to create a new worksheet in the opened EXCEL file. Any help would be appreciated.
Opening Multiple .asc Files && Creating One .txt File
I am new to Excel VBA and I need some help. I want to create a macro that opens an .asc file which user selects through an input box. I want the macro to then copy a certain range of data from the .asc file and export into a .txt file. After that is done I want it to open another .asc file, do the same thing, but export it to the same .txt file. To explain I have an Infrared machine that splits the large data output into two .asc files. One file has the beginging data, the other has the end data. I want the .txt file to contain the full range. The .asc files have added junk, that is why I only want to export a certain range. **NOTE** the first .asc file will have a different range to export than the second, but I know the exact range of each. When opening an .asc file Excel automatically brings up the "text to columns" box. I want the file to open fixed-width automatically. I probably confused everyone, sorry, but I know someone will have a solution. Thanks in advance....it is much appreciated.
Reading Files In A Folder And Creating .ini File
I dont know if this is possible using FileSystemObject and WritePrivateProfileString, but what I want to do is read ALL the files from a folder (that will contain music files) and place the file names in an .ini file.

Folder Contains Files : Song1.mp3, Another Song.mp3, Nice Song.mp3
.INI file created :
[Music]
Track1=Song1.mp3
Track2=Another Song.mp3
Track3=Nice Song.mp3
Check For Existing Record Before Creating Duplicate ?
I have a table that has records stored by date. Only one record per date is allowed. How do I search the table for an existing date prior to adding a new record ?
So far I have :
Code:
[i]Connection[/i]
sQuery = "SELECT * FROM " & tbl & " WHERE [Date] = " & dtpicker1.value
rs.Open sQuery, cn, adOpenKeyset, adLockOptimistic, adCmdText
'I tried this, but it seems to be ignored.
If rs.Fields("Date").Value = dtpicker1.value Then
Load DupRec
DupRec.Show 1
Exit Sub
End If
What do I do next ? If the date has not yet been entered, then the query will not return a result. How do I turn this into an IF...THEN statement ?
If there is a matching record, I want to stop the AddNew/Update procedure.

*RESOLVED* Creating A Database From Existing One From Within Visual Basic
I'm just wrapping up a program and they've decided they want to have a seperate database for every year.
Now i have the blank database, i need to give them an option of creating a new one based on the blank one, which they can name anything.
I know how to create tables in the database, but that seems like the long way around. Is there a shorter way of doing it?
I don't have any code yet, because they just sprung it on me a few minutes ago.
So i figured i'ld find out if its worthwhile tryin to create a new database from within my program or make them copy it themselves.
Creating Text File
This should be a simple one for you. This is my first attempt at using a text file of any sort in my program. I wan the user to be able to export the values from my program, so that they can inport it to another program, or copy of the program. I am keeping all my information in an Access 2003 DB, which works fine, but when I go for the export, do I have to use specific code to create the text file, or does the open command automaticly create the file if it does not exist?
I am going to be using the Common dialog control to open/save the files.
Thanks for any help.
Creating A UTF-8 Text File.
I need to create and write strings to a UTF-8 file.
I tried using:
Code:
strMyString = strconv(strMyString, vbUnicode)
print #1, strMyString
Then, I tried creating the utf-8 file manually and then appending to it. But my accented characters still aren't coming out right.
(I'm using vb to process and rearrange the text so I can use it w/ another program.)
Next I tried using adodb:
Code:
Set objStream = CreateObject("ADODB.Stream")
objStream.Charset = "utf-8"
objStream.Open
objStream.Write strMyString
objStream.SaveToFile "C: est.dat"
objStream.Close
But that seems to have created an ANSI file.
Is it possible to do what I want?
Creating A Text File.
Is there a way to just create a plain text file with VB? I don't want the quotes and EOF mark that appear with sequential files or the markings you get with random access, just the plain text from a string, nothing else.
